Let me start by saying, that in the english version of FFXIV it states that when you join a Grand Company you can change "anytime you want".


Well that isn't exactly true. You have to hit at least level 44, be the current top rank, and then change. Meaning you basically have to max out the entire GC and then you have the option of changing.

This is just silly, GC shouldn't matter that much that you need be locked in. Rank should transfer over on a whim or at least in the specific levels(liutenant, sergeant, private), not this abstract way of punishing a player if he accidentally chose the wrong GC to be in with his friends in another.


SE, you need to fix this. It comes way after server patches and bugs, probably when the PVP comes out, but you need to fix it. At least fix the "anytime you wish" GC change message you put in there.
